GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
4.2 Right to be present: Transporter and Shipper shall have the right
to have representatives present at the time of any installing,
reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing,
calibrating or adjusting done in connection with the other's
measuring equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement
of deliveries of gas under the transportation contract. The
records from such measuring equipment shall remain the property of
their owner, but, upon request, each will submit to the other its
records and charts, together with calculations therefrom, for
inspection and verification, subject to return within ten days
after receipt thereof.
4.3 Care required: All installations of measuring equipment applying
to or affecting deliveries of gas shall be made in such manner as
to permit an accurate determination of the quantity of gas
delivered and ready verification of the accuracy of measurement.
Care shall be exercised by both parties in the installation,
maintenance and operation of pressure-regulating equipment so as
to prevent any inaccuracy in the determination of the quantity of
gas delivered under the transportation contract.
4.4 Calibration and test of meters: The accuracy of Transporter's or
Shipper's measuring equipment shall be verified at reasonable
intervals and, if requested, in the presence of representatives of
the other party, but neither party shall be required to verify the
accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once in any
thirty-day period. In the event either party shall notify the
other that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment,
the parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the
accuracy of such equipment. The expense of any such special test,
if called for, shall be borne by the requesting party if the
measuring equipment tested is found to be in error not more than
two percent (2%).
If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in error by
not more than two percent (2%), previous recordings of such
equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of
gas, but such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record
accurately.
If, upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%), at a recording
corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period
since the last preceding test, then any previous recordings of
such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period
that is known definitely, but in case the period is not known or
agreed upon, such correction shall be for a period extending over
one-half of the time elapsed since the date of last test, not
exceeding a correction period of sixteen days.
